Controls and safeguards
Past participation, scholarship or award status is never used as leverage.
Do not circulate an enquiry across multiple clubs without permission.
MEDIUM — coercive recruitment, inaccurate commitments and uncontrolled referral of personal details can erode alumni trust.
What to measure
Alumni requesting pathway conversations.
Follow-up: Follow up once within three days of the experience; if there is no reply, send no further membership messages unless the alumnus re-engages.
